It's around 5:30 as Emily wakes up from a mini nap and heads downstairs to the kitchen to see what's going on. As she walks in she sees Wanda fiddling around with pots and pans as she cooks dinner, and Peter sitting at the island across from her doing his homework. Emily sits at a bar stool right across from Wanda and next to Peter and smiles, "Hey Peter, Hey Wanda, need any help?"

"Actually, yes I do, can you taste this for me, tell me what you think?" Wanda asks as she dips the wooden spoon in the sauce and stretches it out for her.

"Wait, hey that isn't fair! I want a taste too!" Peter asks, trying to grab the spoon but Emily slaps his hand away and he holds his hand with a puppy eyed look.

"Ladies first Parker you know this." She states with a smirk as she leans over the counter and takes a bite. Wanda laughs as Parker tries to plead for a taste.

"So, how is it Emily?" Wanda asks as they both begin to ignore Peter. Eventually he gives up and focuses on his homework with a grumpy face.

"It's good! Can use a bit more spice though, try adding some oregano."

"Oh, hm, okay let me try." Wanda says as she adds them. Peter tries one more time to get a taste before they both shoot dagger glares at him, 'I was just trying to help' he grumbles under his breath and they smirk. After Wanda adds the oregano she looks to Emily. "You're right, not enough spice. It tastes great now, thank you." Emily smiled and then grabbed a stack of plates and utensils and went to get the table set up for dinner.

As 6:30 rolls around people begin to pile up into the dining room, Emily goes to sit next to Nat and Bucky smiles at her and joins her on her other side. Wanda comes out using her powers and sets all the dinner plates with food down in front of everyone with a smile, "dinner is served."

"Yes I was starving!" Peter exclaims as he's the first to dive into his food. Soon everyone follows and begins to eat.

"This is delicious Wanda." Tony exclaims as he takes another bite.

" Yeah this is really good thank you," Steve says as he sets his napkin on his lap.

"Thanks to Emily also, without her there wouldn't be enough spice to it." Wanda looks to Emily and cheers her class upwards with a wink.

"You probably would have found it anyway." Emily exclaims as she wipes her lips getting rid of some sauce from her face. As Wanda shrugs her off with a playful grin and takes another bite. Bucky and Emily both look at each other and smile as Emily has a small blush come to her cheeks but it quickly goes away when Steve starts to talk.

"So, Emily, what can you bring to this team?" Steve says and everyone quiets down and looks at her.
